The best part of being a work from home mom is being able to stalk your sleeping baby downstairs. 👌🏼

Do you ever get the feeling that you spend too much time chasing the wrong things? Don't get me wrong, I am blessed to have a great career, and an awesome job, but everyday I have to wake this baby up at 5am so someone else can spend the day with him. Someone else gets to see all of his first everything, while I chase a paycheck. No one said being a working mom would be easy, but they definitely didn't say it would be so hard. Guilty mom feelings have reached an all time high.

I am not one to usually post things like this, but I am in absolute awe at the thought that for the last year my son has survived exclusively off of what my body provides. When he was born and I attempted to nurse him, he latched right on, as if he already knew what to do. Exclusively breast feeding has been a lot of work, but watching my son thrive and grow makes it worth all of the time and effort that goes into all of his feedings, especially now that I'm back to work. I promised myself I would try to nurse for six months, and in the beginning that seemed impossible. Realizing I'm halfway there is so empowering, for the first time I feel like I can do this, and reach the goal I set. I am doing the best that I can to provide my son with all of the love and nourishment that he needs to grow into the strong loving man that he will one day become. And that, my friends is @motherhoodrising.

Today we attempted baby's three month photos. Had to do them a few days early, since I'll be at work on Tuesday. It's hard to believe how fast the last three months have gone by. Everyday he gets bigger, more alert, and more observant of the world around him. He has begun to laugh, and smiles whenever anyone talks to him. He sleeps through the entire night and is just such a great baby. My heart is so full from the blessing of motherhood. I honesty could not ask for more.

Baby slept from 8pm-530am. He woke up to eat, and fell right back to sleep on me. I have been blessed with such a good baby. My heart is so full of love thanks to this tiny human who is two months old today.

I hope you don't mind I stole your epic "be an adult" hash tag. It's just too good not to be shared.

I have a great job. Which gave me over two months off of work to have the baby. Who's insurance saved me from $50,000 of medical debt. Who sent me fancy gifts after said baby was born. I am lucky to have this job and my career. So why am I so sad to go back to work next week? My heart aches at the thought... 😩
